Some must be, I bet a lot, but others aren’t. My best friend was in the National Bee (came in fifth! highest ever from our state, pride of our town) back when we were in middle school, and her mom had nothing to do with it. She helped her study if she wanted it of course, but never pushed her into it, never made her study, never even suggested she pursue it. It was all my friends idea and all her hard work.

Some of these kids are so adorable!
